The firmament, once as blue as a jewel, gradually turned into a cloudy and strange cloud under the signs of endless darkness in the future.

Dark clouds flew like ghosts, covering the entire skyline.

These dark air masses seemed to vaguely exude an atmosphere of dead silence and terror, tangled together to form a thick ink color, tightly wrapping the blue sky and white clouds that should be vast and cheerful, as if an unknown evil force was rendering it, making all life force seem to be plundered away, and mixed with taboo and treachery.

Xu Ze looked at the pitch-black environment that suddenly appeared in front of him with a shocked face, and a powerful sense of oppression suddenly struck.

Suddenly, a hoarse and eerie laugh echoed around the fishing village from a dark corner, causing the air to become suffocating, and countless cold tentacles seemed to appear on the wet walls.

The dim light was like a faint ghost fire, dotting the gloomy room with patches of darkness, and the room was filled with a damp and rotten atmosphere, as if one could smell death, and everything around it showed an eerie feeling.

Not only that, but the other investigators except him all had bursts of physical reactions, some vomited and diarrhea, some fainted on the spot, and some were babbling nonsense, as if the language center was in an abnormality.

"Captain, I, I'm ......" On the side, a team member grabbed Xu Ze tightly, and Xu Ze even smelled a little urine from his lower body.

The screams of death filled their ears, and the brutal power seemed to be staring at them—the investigators present had completely lost the desire to fight.

Xu Ze suddenly frowned, he could also feel this sense of oppression, but they didn't even catch a glimpse of anything now—no people, no things, not even evil things.

It was only a momentary thought about those fish-man evil creatures, and the result became this state......

This fear comes from the deepest part of the heart, and it is very real, very unforgettable.

Not only the other investigators, but even the strongest Xu Ze felt his stomach tighten, and the tearing sensation made him doubly painful, but at this time, he could only pretend to be calm.

"Don't worry, I'll take you away." Xu Ze gritted his teeth and took out a card with a flashing orange light from his card box.

This card was given to him by his father.

His father was supposed to be in charge of this investigation mission, which was originally the easiest task assigned to him.

I thought that there would be no danger in this investigation, but I didn't expect that as soon as I moved my murderous intent, I felt such a terrifying and treacherous sense of oppression.

If it weren't for the intellectual restraint of being an investigator, I am afraid that everyone else around me would be scrambling to prostrate on the ground, kneeling under this divine power.

All the investigators had the illusion that if they did something rash, they would be completely crushed by Him, and that He would crush them as easily as if they were crushing an ant with their fingers.

If the source of this sense of oppression appears...... When the time comes......

Xu Ze gritted his teeth, and finally, he attracted his spiritual power.

A crazy aura enveloped them in an instant, and then, a gust of wind suddenly blew through.

This is an escape card that he has prepared a long time ago, and the level is as high as three stars and orange ranks, and he is willing to use it only as a last resort.

And now, it's a last resort.

No, much more!!

Run, must run!!

The gust of wind swept up a bunch of fart investigators on the ground, and even the entire space trembled!

This spatial wind swept everyone up, blowing them towards the preset exit of the secret realm.

And the moment before Xu Ze was blown away from here, he saw a figure wrapped in a pitch-black cloak.

The figure lost interest after just one glance at him.

No, even this "hope" is a conjured action in his mind!

It's quite possible that the other party didn't notice him at all!

At this time, Xu Ze actually already had a guess answer - this person in the black cloak must be the agent of a certain god!

It is even possible that it is not human at all, and that such a high-order existence with a personal personality cannot be regarded as human common sense at all!

If it's really a surrogate...... Maybe they have the strength of the high-star orange card or even the gold card, and these investigators who can barely understand even the purple-level system will basically have only a dead end when they encounter it.

As for the purpose of his coming here......

Xu Ze could clearly feel that the strange book in his hand released a strange energy, and that energy seemed to have some kind of resonance with those fish-man evil creatures on the bottom of the sea, and even directly increased their strength a lot.

And the fish-man cults showed their devotion to the agent of the unknown evil god, who seemed to be their master.

Hiss......

In this case, are these fish-men the family of this agent?

If this is the case, the investigators who are responsible for searching the secret realm together may not be enough to crush others with a finger.

At that moment, the focus of Xu Ze's task instantly changed from investigating the secret realm to taking these fellow investigators to leave unharmed.

Thinking of this, Xu Ze hurriedly made a retreat gesture towards the other investigators, and then they summoned their flying mounts and flew away from here.

Run, must run desperately!

It's so wrong, this is no longer a cultist, but a place where evil gods settle down!

"It's not something we can be a part of anymore!"

"This secret realm. There is a high probability of secondary erosion! It's not even a secondary erosion in general! ”

Xu Ze swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the vision in the sky and the paralyzed map card in his hand, and immediately left here.

After the mental power of those investigators completely disappeared into the secret realm, Li Ming under the black cloak finally let out a long breath.

If he could, he hoped that by making himself and the King in Yellow appear separately, and perform a scene in "New Inesmouth" where two evil gods compete for the secret realm, the Investigators Guild would never dare to enter here again.

After unleashing the power of the "Laleyee Text" to its maximum power, these investigators' mental power could not break through the anomalies at all, and they would only think that an evil god was coming.

Fortunately, the captain named Xu Ze was not a stunned young man, otherwise he would really have to do it.

Then, he turned to look to the other side.

There were flames, and a fiery dragon was writhing in the air.

This feeling is too familiar, you don't have to think that it must be the Long Yan who almost killed Zhong Yue.

In his impression, Long Yan didn't seem to be in charge of the investigation of the secret realm, so there should be some special reason why he appeared in this secret realm......

Then you might as well put yourself to good use.

He took out "The King in Yellow" and began to compose the next script with his mental power-

The play is only half played.

Next, it's the main event.

……

From the moment he entered the secret realm, Long Yan felt that something was not right.

Originally, he was not in charge of the investigation of this secret realm, but in the process of chasing the cultists, he found a few fish that slipped through the net, and those cultists who did not have time to evacuate had the last chance to get into this place, so he followed along.

Originally, Long Yan didn't care too much, I will chase after you run, but soon he found that there was a strange feeling in this secret realm that he had dealt with countless times - the breath of an evil god!

But his mental strength is far greater than that of the other squad leader, and he is a true Orange tier card maker.

It's weird.

You know, since it can be classified as teaching land, then this place is either harmless in the first place, or it is a secret realm that has been forcibly harmless by the Investigator Association, this kind of secret realm that allows students to enter and assess, how can there be evil gods living in it?

But this feeling ...... It's too familiar, Long Yan will never admit it.

Therefore, after entering the secret realm, he immediately transformed into a fiery dragon form, carefully searching every corner for traces of evil gods or cultists.

It's a pity that he took a different path, because he thought that cultists should not appear in more conspicuous places, so he missed the fishing village.

And what he really didn't expect was ...... He didn't find the evil god, but the evil god found him.

The originally clear and cloudless sky suddenly turned dark, and a bright star appeared in the sky, and Long Yan just looked up.

The next moment, I found that the scenery around me had completely changed-

Somehow, he found himself in an ancient and mysterious theater, a scene that seemed to come from a dream, and an eerie and unreal feeling kept coming from his chest.

But his psychic perception was completely contrary to his intuition, and everything here was real.

This intermingling of the real and the unreal caused Long Yan, who had already turned into a fiery dragon, to stop, and the flames on his body continued to burn vigorously, and the scorching fire even caused the air around him to gradually distort.

He landed on the ground and looked around, looking for an exit.

And in the next second, a sudden opening opened in the ceiling above the theater, and eight figures fell from it—they were hanging upside down from the ceiling, wrapped in heavy white bandages, like specimens of a different kind of artwork, struggling helplessly.

Long Yan immediately identified these people, they were the cultists he was hunting.

What is this Nima doing? Engaging in performance art?

Long Yan frowned, but then, he heard a thick female voice in his ear like an opera narration-

"O great Hastur, punish these impudent men who dare to break into Kalksa, and use their souls and mortal bodies as the fuel for your greatness, and bring new enlightenment and strength to the world!"

This strange voice made Long Yan's eyes widen, and he kept looking around, his first reaction was whether he had fallen for some illusion.

But no matter how much spiritual power was used to perceive the illusion, the scene in front of him was never shaken in the slightest.

It's not a fantasy at all, but what's the situation with this Nima???

Just when Long Yan was puzzled, suddenly, eight torture instruments similar to the iron virgin suddenly appeared next to the eight cultists who were hung upside down, and the iron virgin covered with iron thorns slowly closed it, and then was burned to ashes by the flames in that hoarse sound of despair.

Long Yan was completely stunned, he had seen a lot of the world, but he had never seen such a situation.

And then, a whisper like a narrator sounded in his ears again—

"And the Flame Warrior who dared to break into Kalksa, please punish him and send him to the Nine Hells, where he will be reduced to ashes in despair, and he will never be transformed into a dragon again!"

Long Yan was stunned for a moment, and he immediately realized that this was what he was talking about!

Then, the wind and fire around him fell silent, and he suddenly felt as if he was locked in a transparent barrier.

Long Yan, who was full of panic, immediately urged his strength to the extreme, trying to break out of this invisible barrier, but his flames, which were enough to burn an entire city to ashes, were blown out like sparks in this invisible barrier.

The next second, he felt as if a sharp needle had pierced his body.

Then, the second, the third, the fourth, the tenth, the hundredth, the thousandth......

Long Yan's eyes widened, experiencing the punishment of ten thousand needles, and for the first time there was a trace of despair in his eyes.

But at this moment.

A yellow mark suddenly appeared in front of him!
